Of course, the1914 Indianapolis T.16 ( also called 5 liter) was a 4 cylinder. The first 8 cyl. Bugatti was the T.28, just restored by Rondoni for the Schlumpf Museum.
By the way Laurent Rondoni in Carpentras, France, is one of the best Bugatti mechanic engineer and worked on ALL of this 1923 GP de Tours racing cars: the T.32 Bugatti tank, the V.12 2LCV Delage, the 8 cylinder Rolland-Pilain.
He also worked on the T.16 and the T.29 Strasbourg GP car.

Best, Patrick

That’s a lot of money to run at Indy!
